Unlike previous designs requiring massive accelerators, this powerful but portable particle gun harnesses a novel electromagnetic technique to smash hydrogen protons into lithium atoms to achieve ...

Dark matter, although not visible, is believed to make up most of the total mass of the universe. One theory suggests that ...

New developments tackle two of the biggest challenges in plasma-wave acceleration: beam quality and bunch rate.

The question of where atoms come from requires a lot of physics to be answered completely – and even then, physicists only have good guesses to explain how some atoms are formed.

The findings rank battery electric vehicles as the most efficient option, boasting an 80% energy efficiency rate, significantly higher than hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (29%) and electrofuel-based ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Some of the faintest, coldest stars in the universe may be powered not by fusion—but by the annihilation of dark matter deep ...

Sabic to close UK cracker, plastics recycler Novoloop raises funds, Kymera strikes molecular glue deal, and more ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...
